The competition for the 5th starter spot is still fierce between Landon Roupp, Hayden Birdsong and Kyle Harrison.
With the top four settled we discuss what the floor and ceiling may be for this rotation, how realistic it is to expect strong seasons from Verlander, Ray and Hicks and examine the depth in the rotation and how the Giants could creatively use the abundance of young starters they have.
Lastly we lament the fact that the Rays o...2025-03-2039 minCatching Up on Giants BaseballInfield preview & city connect uniform predictionsToday Max and Jackson break down all the infield options. While some are obvious and steady, there are major question marks about who will fill those extra roles in the infield and designated hitter.

Luciano, Matos, Encarnacion, even Wisely and Fitzgerald, we think it's wide open for others to get at bats in the outfield and prove they are part of the Giants long-term future.
With no new signings of veteran outfielders and no one invited to camp as a non-roster invitee, it seems the...2025-02-1237 min
